Books & Comics / Re: Whats everyone reading?

Finally got myself a copy of "The Complete Maus" off Amazon after it's been on my To Buy list for yonks.

I'm about half way through Book I - just can't put it down. Nothing I can say would come close to doing such a work justice. If you haven't read it, you're missing something.

Heh.

The cold water bottle experiment went very well indeed. The only downside was that sleeping with what was basically a large chunk of ice wrapped in a towel reminded me of what it was like being married.

...keeping cool in bed on hot, sticky nights?

I have an experiment planned. Even now my hot water bottle is filled with cold water and languishing in the freezer. Will the rubber object to this and suffer a catastrophic perishing during the night? I'll tell you in the morning...

Thanks guys. I reckon it's the circuit board too. Also, the minute I pegged the washing out the Heavens opened. I fecking hate wash-day.

I think manual's the way to go. What make & model's yours, Peter? Would you recommend it?

Although right now I'd be happy with a dolly tub and a mangle.

Thanks, Tips. Good suggestions all, unfortunately to no avail :( I bet it's that bloody computery circuit board type bit. I wish I could just do away with that altogether and make the machine just wash, rinse and spin. I'm a single man, ffs, what do I need with all these weird programs? I mean, delicates for Gawd's sake. Delicates??

Anyway, I've done the wash in the bath instead.

...washing machines?

I have a Hoover H130M and all it does is just go round and round and round. It doesn't pump any water in, it doesn't pump any water out and it doesn't spin. It just goes round. And round. And round. I've tried kicking it, but that didn't work. I've also had the top off, but the extent of my knowledge on such things is limited to checking if it's on fire or not. (It isn't.) No wires hanging off, nothing out of place.

Any ideas that don't involve getting a £100/hr man in?

The more I look at that image, the more anomalies there seems to be. For example; the reflection in the car at bottom left seems to be of trees that don't appear to be there. My God, is all or History a fake??!!

Is that Marvelman? (Or Miracleman, if Stan Lee is reading).

Actually, that woman looking at him between the bleached out guy and the bloke in the hat and glasses looks a bit out of place as well...
